Summary: Supports Idaho colleges and universities in providing emergency financial aid to upper-level undergraduates facing sudden hardships that jeopardize their ability to stay enrolled.
This program enables Idaho’s accredited two- and four-year colleges and universities to provide critical emergency financial assistance to upper-level undergraduate students. The fund is designed to help students who are within one year of graduation and encounter sudden financial crises—such as medical emergencies, loss of income, or other unforeseen hardships—that threaten their ability to remain enrolled and complete their degrees. Grant resources are distributed by institutions exclusively for direct student support, covering urgent needs like tuition, housing, transportation, food, and essential living expenses. This fund aims to help institutions respond rapidly to student emergencies and keep Idaho students on track to graduation.
